The bridegroom’s mother then lays all the gifts in her lap. If she thinks they are insufficient, she twists and turns and pretends that she does not want to accept them and, by doing so, she perhaps gets a little more, or the promise of more. All of which she hides away. Then the bridegroom’s father and mother give the couple schnaps to drink together out of the same vessel and everyone in the dwelling joins hands in a ring. Afterwards they take their hats off, pray, ask for God’s blessing upon them, and thank God for giving every man a wife etc.
